A paradoxical question flitted thro my mind......
" is commiting suicide a courageous act or a cowardly one?"
this is a debatable issue and i dont think anyone can ever come to a sound conclusion
but im sure everyone agrees with me that this stupid act is on the rise ,especially amongst celebrities...
this reminds me of a famous dialogue in TITANIC
ROSE: i know what u must be thinking....poor little rich girl! what does she know abt misery....
JACK: no,thats not what i was thinking...i was thinking...what could have happenned to this girl to think that there was no other way out...

rose was saved by jack before she could hurl herself into the sea...good for her
but not everyone has their knight in shining armour waiting to save them from disastrous attempts of suicide. infact it is said that if the first attempt is thwarted succesfully,no one would go for the second attempt. is that because they realise the value of life,or are they just plain scared ???
whatever the reason might be, a suicidal tendency will never completely vanish....it will always be shimmering under the surface threatening to burst out at the slightest indication of trauma
i guess thats the reason for the cropping up of innumerable helplines and organisations who try helping these people to come out of their depressions
but are they trying hard enough?
clearly not,since in the last one month ,i came to know of four suicides....two of celebrities and the other two college students...have citizens of india suddenly taken a resolve to reduce the population? your concern is surely appreciated but the methodology adopted is downright foolish( hasnt anyone heard of family planning)
if im making a spoof of this matter,its only because im irritated with all these people...
i cannot direct my anger at them,hence im blogging
